White Tiger

After refitting his white hakama outfit, Kimimaro steped outside and took some meals to fill his stomach feeling quite hungry.

In the middle of his meal, Kimimaro saw Tiana walked from the ladies bathroom, her pretty face flushed with pink hue and her shoulder length hair dropped giving her some kind of alluring appearance due to her outstanding figure. 

Her marine outfit was fitted loosely, one or two unbuttoned suit gave her ample cleavage another sight to behold, Kimimaro continued to eat his meal without noticing Tiana awkwardly glanced at his sitting posture especially his lower body. 

Tiana stood on her spot for a while seemingly in reverie until Kimimaro called her all of a sudden. 

"Tiana? Why are standing there? go eat, you haven't eaten yet right?" 

Surprised by a sudden call, Tiana trembled slightly, her contenance turned red giving her charm another spike! 

"Ah!, yes Kimi-sir, i'll try my best to take your....." she murmured at the end of her sentence while lowering her flushed face. 

"What're you talking about?" Kimimaro had blank look on his face seeing Tiana fidgetting figure.

Noticing her unbecoming behavior at last, Tiana shook her head as she walked away in quick pace. 

"No, nothing sir! Please don't mind!" 

Tiana went into another room designated for the lady, the men presents couldn't help but to take a second glance after her figure sashaying away. 

"Careful boys, i'll send you to G-5 Marine base if you have any funny ideas!" Warned Kimimaro coldly seeing some men lustful gaze. 

Hearing their captain spoke sternly, the marine presents behave themselves immediately and ceased their unbecoming thought regarding their navigator, besides, most men could only imagined Tiana in their mind and knew that she was practically untouchable and strong enough to handle the boys due to her swordmanship.

And so the uneventful time passed and the crew finally recovered. While Kimimaro read the available book on one of the sofas passing the time, the lounge steel door opened wide revealing Vegapunk figure stood there with his long tongue stretched down. 

Sentomaru immediately steps towards Vegapunk as he sternly scolded the doctor, 

"Old man punk! Why didn't you wait for me?!"

Vegapunk scratched his not-so itchy head as he apologized, 

"I'm sorry Sentomaru, i was just too excited because of my base...."

"Well, it's good that you're fine. As your greatest bodyguard i need to keep you safe! What should i do if you suddenly encounter a danger here?!" 

Vegapunk was feeling peculiar, what could possibly happened inside his own base? nonetheless he appeased the fuming Sentomaru while apologizing profusely.

"Just leave it be Sentomaru, The doctor must've feeling too excited. Let it rest okay?" Kimimaro patted Sentomaru on his shoulder as he smiled toward the doctor. 

Kimimaro then turned toward Vegapunk and continued, 

"How was it doctor?"

Vegapunk smiled widely as he gave Kimimaro a thumbs up, 

"It was more than i could imagine, Stella had indeed gained sentient! I plan to gave her a proper body later. Like some kind of device." 

Kimimaro nodded as he felt glad for Vegapunk, having a sentient A.I was big breakthrough within the scientific world. And Vegapunk himself doesn't even know that those kind of think could possibly happen. 

"Great, anyway, have you eaten yet doctor? You should take proper care for your body." 

Just when Vegapunk was about to reply, Stella voice interupted him, 

"Doctor, there are guests outside, They are Kotton and some Marine crews, should i open the gate?" 

Vegapunk nodded immediately as he gestured toward Kimimaro to follow, Sentomaru sticking to the side of the doctor and not letting him away from his sight once more.

"Sure! Let them in..." 

the trio following the corridor toward the front gate, and soon they saw the huge gate opened with Kotton, the man who met with the group earlier was being escorted by Daigin and some of the marines. 

"Vegapunk! There you are." Kotton glanced at the facility huge steel gate, feeling quite awkward to step inside. 

Vegapunk fasten his pace and soon slapped Kotton arm in friendly manner, 

"Ahaha, Kotton! How's your hunt?" 

Kotton scratched his cheek as he glanced toward Daigin at the back who saluted toward Kimimaro. 

"Sir!" 

Kimimaro nodded, "Good job boys, get inside and refresh yourself, there is warm bath and meal." 

Kotton suddenly spoke, "Ah! about meal, Doctor, do you want to have a meal together with us? Thanks to Sir Daigin and the marine we managed to catch a rather huge Seaking." 

While Daigin and the rest followed Kimimaro instruction and get inside the base, Vegapunk nodded immediately, agreeing with his old friend proposal. 

All of sudden, in one of the wall corridor, appeared a clothes hanger with warm winter jacket hanging from it. 

Noticing Stella thoughtfulness, Vegapunk smiled, "Thank you Stella..." 

"You're most welcome doctor..." 

After several minutes, Vegapunk was covered in warm fluffy jacket and stepped outside followed by Sentomaru. 

Kotton looked at Kimimaro and asked carefuly, 

"Sir Vice Admiral. Would you join us for evening meal? ah! Of course with your men!" 

Kimimaro pondered for a while before he shook his head and said, 

"Don't worry about them, let them rest inside, its okay right doctor?" 

Vegapunk replied, "Sure, Stella would you please accomodate Kimi-kun's men?" 

Stella, "Most certaintly Doctor...." 

"Lets go?" Vegapunk took out several devices with tube-like shape out of his pocket, he gave them to the trio as he showed how to turn the device on, light immediately illuminate the way brighter than Kotton's torch. 

"Sure old friend, lets go." Kotton smiled as he marveled at the tube-like device in his hand.
